Delcina's Tears Georgina Williams

CHILDREN HAVE NO HEARTS

This is one of the darkest pages in the histories of Canada and the Roman Catholic Church. Welcome to St. Michael's Laundry, a world of systemic physical and mental abuse, torture, sexual abuse by priests and nuns, where children work shoulder-to-shoulder with criminals and the criminally insane in deplorable conditions behind locked doors. But it is also a story of innocence and undying human spirit.

-Ross Kentner

Delcina's Tears is a remarkable story by a remarkable woman. Georgina Williams tells it as it was without any trace of self-pity despite her many years of suffering. Her courage is a testament to how the human spirit can survive desolation, hopelessness, and humiliation.

-Robert F. Gray, Canada Council for the Arts
